Darren Aronofsky, who’s directing the new Wolverine movie (see “Aronofsky Near Deal on ‘Wolvie 2’”), has revealed that the film will be titled The Wolverine, and won’t be a sequel to the first, according to Hitfix (the first was titled X-Men Origins: Wolverine).  Aronofsky described the film as a “one-off.”

The storyline takes the title character to Japan, where he trains to perfect his skills in the martial arts (see “Wolverine 2 Script Done”).  Production is expected to start in Japan early next year.
